Various Artists – Notes For Haiti (Review)

Various Artists

Notes For Haiti

Released by Oxfam America


In response to the catastrophic series of earthquakes and aftershocks experienced in Haiti, a collective of musicians from Detroit, MI and Los Angeles, CA came together with faith in the people- us.  They formulated the project, “Notes For Haiti” in hopes that we can make a difference; and not only do, but believe in it as well.  This album is a way to thank and remind us, of not only our fortunes, but also our duties as a society - in remaining thankful and humble, during such times. Initially, this ...

Ana Tijoux Rhymes from Santiago to New York (MP3)

Old school hip hop meets global perspective 

“What’s up, New York?!!” screamed Chilean rapper Ana Tijoux at Manhattan’s Le Poisson Rouge during her first US tour last earlier this month. “I’ve always wanted to say ‘What’s Up, New York?’” she told the crowd, a wide smile across her face.

Tijoux had been waiting a long time for that moment, and now is her moment. Her whirlwind string of performances (more than a dozen dates in 30 days) to support her new solo album, 1977 (Nacional Records), kicked off at SXSW in Austin and took her to more than 10 cities in the US and Canada.

Blu & Fashawn Freestyle Live In France, Exile Freaking the MPC (Video)

Diamond District, Blu, Exile, & Fashawn Freestyle: Live in France 

The “next school” is quickly becoming the “now school.” Artists such as L.A.’s Blu & Exile and fellow SoCal artist Fashawn have all made noise in the past few years. Toss in Diamond District out of D.C. and that’s the makings of a rather dope show. That’s exactly what went down earlier this month. This excellent video from the Mass Corporation blog was shot by Mr. Mass himself. Blu and Fashawn are featured prominently through out the video, but the real treat comes at about the five minute mark. It features Exile, the dope producer, “play” the MPC live and in living color. If you haven’t seen Exile on the MPC, then this video is well worth watching. The video itself is a very professional looking and creative look at the show.
